While dirty water is unacceptable in any case the AP’s title tries to lead people to think it was drinking water.

I have no problems with the story, no matter who badly the AP mischaracterized the story.

You want to shave/bathe in dirty water? The contractor needs to be held accountable.

They fixed the problem two years ago. I do have to add though, this is pretty basic stuff for those qualified to set up a potable water system.

What part of “dirty water is unacceptable in any case” do you not understand? KBR corrected the problem with the non-drinking water and even the story said,”It was impossible to link the dirty water definitively to all the illnesses, according to the report”.

As someone else stated, the problems were fixed two years ago...so it looks to me like they did take responsibility, since they fixed the problem. Therefore, this is nothing but a sensationalized hit piece. They even repeated the Cheney charge again later in the article...

Halliburton is the oil services conglomerate that Cheney once led. Congressional Democrats long have complained that KBR has benefited from its former ties to Cheney.

Blah blah blah...Cheney...Halliburton...KBR...evil...blah blah blah...ad nauseum.
